Chapter 295 Easter eggs with double endings

"Hello everyone, welcome to "Kiwi Entertainment Show", I am the host Liu Xiaomi!

First of all, let's pay attention to the latest news of the National Day movie. The new film "The Truman Show" directed by Lin Hong has caused a huge sensation since its global release. "

On the computer screen, switch to the video screen of "The Truman Show". Truman was forcibly pulled to the billboard by the twins. Truman broke into the office building. Truman drove blindfolded across the bridge and Truman finally met at the exit. Han Liangsheng's dialogue.

"Both film critics and ordinary audiences have given extremely high praise, and "The Truman Show" is also the best at the box office.

Relying on its high popularity and self-promotion by stars, "The Truman Show" grossed 12.8 billion yuan in its first week of release, breaking multiple records. Among them, the box office and total box office of Chinese literary films were both broken in the first week of release, and it was Lin who surpassed Another literary film directed by Hong, "Life Kiss Me Painfully", and "The Truman Show" is still in theaters. Professional organizations predict that the film's final box office will be between 18.5 billion and 20 billion.

For such a high box office performance, many professionals were surprised. "

The person interviewed by the reporter on the screen was Zhang Guoshi. He didn't have a movie released this year. When he was working in Beijing Film Studio, he was met by a familiar reporter. He heard that he was shooting material for "The Truman Show" and he readily accepted the interview.

"We often fall into a misunderstanding. When we hear about literary films, we think that the box office cannot be very high. This is actually a misunderstanding.

The box office of a movie is affected by many factors, the core of which is of course the story.

If you can tell a good story and then successfully bring it to the screen, then the movie is half the battle.

Coupled with the performance of the actors, their popularity, the popularity of the movie's topics, the publicity and so on, these comprehensive factors will affect it together.

And "The Truman Show" obviously meets the above conditions.

Moreover, in recent years, the aesthetic taste of Chinese audiences has been greatly improved. Audiences choose movies to buy tickets and enter the theater not only to see who is starring, but also how much the total investment is. In this way, it is easier for good movies to enter the audience's field of vision and selection area. .

I found that "Eating and Drinking Men and Women", No.3 on this year's National Day box office list, is also a literary film, which is a very good thing for Chinese films.

So I often say that there is no market for literary and artistic films, but that it is necessary to find a suitable entry point and find a balance and explosion point between business and literature and art. This is the key. "

Although Zhang Guoshi is well-known, he doesn't do much to support the younger generation, so suddenly a movie is praised, and the reporter will of course continue to ask questions.

"Then, what do you think of Director Lin Hong and his works, Master Guo? Is there any chance of cooperation in the future?"

"Lin Hong is very good. As an outstanding representative of Beijing Film Academy, he has academic professionalism, and the films he makes are logical and have a strong personal style.

But at the same time, he also has a liberal spirit of exploration, which is also reflected in his movies.

To be honest, his current achievements are already very high, and he is so young, it can be said that his future is limitless.

As for cooperation, as long as the opportunity is ripe, I am very happy to cooperate with director Lin Hong. "

Although this interview is a bit off-topic, this is Zhang Guoshi. It is great that he can accept the interview. In addition, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with Lin Hong. What bicycle do we need?

"The overseas box office of "The Truman Show" is also very good. The overseas box office has exceeded 7000 million US dollars in the first week, ranking fourth in the overseas box office of Chinese films."

Although the reporter did not go on, Zhang Guoshi already knew what he meant. Now the top three are "Ambush from Eight Sides" with US$8000 million, "Heroes of the Warring States Period" with US$1.39 million and "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" with US$2.1 million. .

While "Ambush from Eight Sides" and "Heroes of the Warring States Period" are both Zhang Guoshi's works, "The Truman Show" is not far behind them, and it is very likely that it will rise to the third or even second position.

"I noticed, and that's a good thing.

First of all, Lin Hong has the courage to release the film globally simultaneously, which should be encouraged.At the same time, he used the quality of the film to prove that Chinese literary films can also move the world.

Here I also wish "The Truman Show" to achieve good results both at home and abroad, and hope that other Chinese filmmakers can work together to make Chinese films a success. "

Let alone the audience in front of the screen at this moment, even the reporters who interviewed Zhang Guoshi were a little uncomfortable.

Is this the aloof Zhang Guoshi?Is he talking too much today?And the evaluation of Lin Hong is too high.

What reappeared on the screen was the pretty face of host Liu Xiaomi.

"Although "The Truman Show" has been well received, some netizens pointed out that the Easter eggs in the Chinese version and the overseas version are different, causing controversy. What is the specific situation, let us take a look together."

"On the third day when the box office of the movie broke through 6 million, the main creative team of "The Truman Show" held a celebration party in Beijing.

When the leading actor Huang Xiaoming spoke at the celebration party, he accidentally said that when he was filming the last egg, he was almost desperate enough to cause physical vomiting.

This aroused the puzzlement of domestic audiences, why is Truman and Liu Fei so uncomfortable together?

Soon, some viewers who watched the overseas version left messages on the Internet saying that the content of the easter eggs in the domestic version and the international version are completely opposite.

This has caused a lot of controversy. What is the reason? Today, at the casting audition for director Lin Hong's new movie "Hello, Li Huanying", director Lin Hong also answered this question. "

Because the movie is still in theaters, Liu Xiaomi didn't broadcast the specific plot, but there is already a lot of noise on the Internet about the two different easter eggs.

In the easter eggs shown in Chinese movie theaters, Truman successfully returned to the earth to live a normal life, and finally lived happily with Liu Fei.

But in the overseas version of the post-credits egg, although Truman escaped from the "Ocean" exit in Taoyuan Town, and the program team also compromised with Truman, he was finally sent back to Xihong City on Earth according to his wishes.

However, all of this is just a new scam. The so-called spacecraft will not send him back to Earth at all, but trick him into a new "Xihong City" through more advanced holographic projection.

In the brand-new "Xihong City" studio is a new group performance, and the program group also arranged a "Liu Fei" through plastic surgery.

In the despair and depression of the overseas audience, Truman excitedly accepted the "new life" of "Xihong City" and lived with "Liu Fei".

It's just that this time Truman doesn't know how long it will take before he realizes that he has once again fallen into the world of universal acting, and will he still have the courage to face his fears next time?

Two versions, two completely different endings.

Although there is a new "David's World" at the end of the Chinese version, Truman has returned to normal society anyway, and the cruelty made the audience feel a little warmth.

However, at the end of the international version, there is only despair, nothing but despair, especially after they firmly believe that Truman has escaped from Taoyuan Town, what awaits them is a more advanced and more detailed new map.

And there is a shaking hand blogger called "Poisonous Tongue Movie" who believes that the movie "The Truman Show" was originally a conspiracy, a conspiracy by Han Liangsheng to deceive the world.

Because Truman's life has entered a stable period, the show has become more or less flat, so after seeing the bottleneck in the show, Han Liangsheng first made a more advanced "Xihong City" scene, and then let Truman "" "Accidentally" discovered that there was a problem in this world, and then guided him to escape to "Xihong City" step by step, so as to realize "Truman's World Version 2.0".

And Truman went from doubting to fleeing to completing the scene upgrade. During this period, there will be many famous scenes, which will attract the attention of countless audiences.

Then after completing the "Xihong City" scene, it is logical to replace the actors around Truman and the background of the story, so as to realize the re-upgrade of the program.

In order to achieve this goal, Han Liangsheng told the very few staff members who participated in the plan, and the whole world became his target of deception until the version upgrade was completed.

Of course, Truman is the one who can't solve the mystery in the end.

Lin Hong had to admire the masters among the people, especially the "Poison Tongue Movie" who guessed the final version of Lin Hong's plan to hit the grand prize without fully revealing the plot.

you are vicious!One-click three consecutive arrangements for you!

Liu Xiaomi's pretty face switched to Lin Hong's body, and he held more than a dozen radio microphones in both hands, including Kiwi's platform.

"Director Lin Hong, can you talk about why there are two versions of the ending? Many domestic audiences said that the international version is more exciting. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Lin Hong was powerless to complain, of course he knew that the international version was more exciting, but the international version was too depressing, too dark and too hopeless, and it would not pass the censorship at all when it was released in China.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Hong to tell the media like this. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Optoelectronics.

"It's normal to have a version with double endings. The reason why there are Chinese and international versions is mainly to consider the cultural background of the audience.

In the universal values ​​of Chinese people, human nature is inherently good, so I hope that the film will retain a little bit of humanity.

I wanted to pull the audience out of the story, otherwise it would be unfair to the audience who paid to see my film.

I don't want the audience to have nightmares after watching the movie, or wonder whether they are in the script set by others all day long.

The reason why the international version was filmed so well is mainly because they believe that human nature is inherently evil. Only such a depressive and crazy setting can make them think more. "

See, the subtext of this answer is that Chinese people are kind, so I will give a softer version.Foreigners are black-hearted, they only deserve to watch the Infernal Hell version.

Lin Hong would not tell them that foreign audiences and judges like this kind of heavy taste, and it is easier to win awards this way.

Lin Hong's answer was very in-depth, so no one realized that he was fooling people, and Lin Hong once again showed what is serious nonsense.

After answering the question about the double-version ending, Lin Hong will not answer related questions in the future. It will be embarrassing if he accidentally tells the truth.

And the reporters quickly shifted the question to "Hello, Li Huanying", after all, this is the main job today.

"Director Lin Hong, can you tell me about "Hello, Li Huanying". Is it too late for this movie to be scheduled for the Spring Festival?"

""Hello, Li Huanying" is still unable to announce the plot information to the public. I'm sorry, but what I can tell you is that this is a movie that can make you laugh and cry. Believe me, it will definitely be like this.

As for the time, don't worry, our main creative team is already hungry and thirsty, and I have a very mature crew.

As long as some supporting roles are finalized, the work can start immediately, and then everyone will wait for the Spring Festival stalls! "

As soon as this interview with Lin Hong came out, the Internet quickly gave Lin Hong the title of a model worker. After all, the National Day movie was still in theaters, and he was about to make a new film for the Spring Festival. This is definitely a model worker among the model workers.
